Over their new ad with Colin Kaepernick:
BREAKING: Nike had been paying Colin Kaepernick all along, waiting for the right moment. That moment is now, as he becomes the face of the company’s 30th anniversary of the “Just Do It” campaign. pic.twitter.com/uccpDStbq5

I’m just here to remind folks that last year Colin Kaepernick was in the top 50 in NFL jersey sales, despite not being on a roster. Nike made a business move.

::laughs in hypocrisy at all the people who were all good with Nike when the company was accused of abusing kids in sweatshops, but are sooooooooo outraged at the Colin Kaepernick campaign::

Umm. Nike already has your money. And now you don’t have socks. https://t.co/DyzDPoHT6z

I spent 26 years on active duty between the Army and Air Force. I wore that uniform to protect @Kaepernick7 and any other American's right to free speech. Taking a knee is no disrespect to the flag. I will rock all my Nike gear and definitely buy more.

“In the beginning of change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” Mark Twain.
So……….
“Guard against the imposters of pretended patriotism.” George Washington.
Like Republicans.
Check that tag on the back of your expensive NFL sanctioned jersey. Make my day and don’t take it off first.
I fell out with Nike when guns and Rose’s cursed on commercial
I dislike them even more now I now boycott NFL and now even more
People wake up professional players get your money and think they can do anything they want
So sad what America has become. Grow up people
Perhaps you ought to take a course in writing informative English, Allen Pullin. The owners take your money and distribute some of it to players. Not unlike the CEOs of major corporations, who, with their little-bo-peep MBAs take the work of their technicians, engineers and scientists and make massive profits off of it.
And while you are at it, you could read what happens when corrupt super-rich decide to start wars for profit by stirring up fake nationalism (while sitting on each others’ Boards of Directors, even the notional opponents’) and whetting the dreams of ‘great game’ foreign service careerists — may I suggest “Goodbye to All that, Robert Graves; Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway; Im Westen Nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front), Erich M. Remarque for starters.
Trump can’t read and neither do many of his supports.
Those who do read, being non-critical thinkers, and having stunted intellects, always come to the wrong conclusions.
